vCISO/ Fractional CISO Support

Executive cybersecurity leadership - without the full time cost

You don’t need to hire a full-time CISO to get full-time confidence. Hive Systems offers vCISO services backed by a team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals - each with over a decade of real-world experience. Whether you’re building your first cybersecurity program or managing complex compliance demands, our virtual CISOs deliver clarity, structure, and leadership from day one.

We don’t just advise. We lead, execute, and build scalable programs designed to grow with your business.

Backed by experts who’ve seen it all

What sets Hive Systems apart? Our people. Nearly every member of our team has 10+ years of direct cybersecurity experience across industries, frameworks, and threat landscapes. That means your vCISO engagement isn’t just one consultant - it’s a strategic relationship backed by an expert team that’s handled:

  • Startups under compliance pressure

  • Rapidly scaling tech platforms

  • Government and critical infrastructure environments

  • Audits, incidents, vendor due diligence, and everything in between

We bring proven strategies, tested playbooks, and scalable systems to help you succeed - without the guesswork.

What our vCISO services include

Every vCISO engagement is tailored to your goals, risk profile, and internal resources. We can:

  • Develop and manage your cybersecurity strategy and roadmap

  • Lead risk assessments, control design, and implementation

  • Support compliance efforts (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC)

  • Serve as your external-facing security contact for customers and regulators

  • Guide incident response planning and tabletop exercises

  • Translate cybersecurity into business terms for executives and boards

  • Build metrics and reporting structures that drive accountability and clarity

Your vCISO provides leadership and direction - and brings Hive’s full team with them.

Built to scale with your business

Our vCISO service is perfect for:

  • Startups and growth-stage companies without in-house security leadership

  • CTOs and COOs managing cybersecurity off the side of their desk

  • Organizations entering regulated markets or enterprise contracts

  • Any business that needs strategic oversight, fast execution, and flexible support

We grow with you - from ad hoc guidance to embedded leadership.

Tools optional. Expertise mandatory.

Every vCISO engagement is enhanced - but never dependent - on tooling. If needed, we can bring:

  • Derive - our cyber risk and operations platform

  • GRC and control management frameworks

  • Policy development kits and audit prep checklists

  • Access to Hive’s broader services: penetration testing, risk assessments, tabletop facilitation, and more

But the core value is simple: experienced cybersecurity leaders delivering real impact, fast.

Let’s bring leadership to your cybersecurity program

With Hive Systems’ vCISO services, you get strategic guidance, deep experience, and scalable results - without the headcount.
